Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On January 29, 2018, Woodward, Inc. (“Woodward” or the “Company”)
announced its decision to relocate its Duarte, California operations to the Company’s newly renovated Drake Campus in Fort
Collins, Colorado.
At the time of the initial announcement, the Company did not yet have a reasonable estimate
of the amount of restructuring charges the Company would incur. On March 30, 2018, management of Woodward approved approximately
$12.5 million of restructuring charges related to severance benefits in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. In addition, Woodward
announced an additional $4.5 million in restructuring charges related to cost reduction efforts in its Industrial segment.
